Possibly I am being too tricky here by modifying parent.__path__, and I should just modify sys.path again, as you suggest. But I was trying to show that modifying parent.__path__ will also work.

Modifying namespace package __path__ attributes directly seems like a good way to accidentally break the auto-updating. We probably don't want to encourage that. Cheers, Nick. -- Sent from my phone, thus the relative brevity :)
